Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.

Doing Some More National Road

Just got back home after a two week trip to North Carolina for Thanksgiving.

Today, I had some time to kill so figured this would be a good time to take the National Road/US-40 through Columbus, Ohio, since it was a Saturday. But got lost partly because of myself and one-way streets so missed most of down town, but did see the Confederate Cemetery at Camp Chase and the Route 40 Motel west of town.

Entering Indiana at Richmond, I got off I-70 to visit the National Road Welcome Center and found a ceremony to dedicate a marker going on outside the place so stuck around to see it. The Indiana National Road Association, working with other groups has a series of explanatory markers across the entire state now.
